SAN JOSE, CA , March 19, 1999 -- Leukemia Society of America's (LSA) Team in Training athlete Sara Mazer today announced that she will host the first ever Internet fundraising webcast. The Saturday, March 20, 1999 event allows people on the Internet to join the festivities in a virtual fundraising event through online donation and live streaming video at the event website http://www.studentshelp.org/give/.

Her housewarming party grew quickly when Mazer, encouraged by friends from the Silicon Valley high-tech scene, opened her house and she became a one-woman fundraising event. Mazer is a cyclist in training for the 100 mile Century Ride in Lake Tahoe, California on June 6, 1999. Team in Training offers professional team training under the guidance of world class athletes and travel to national events in return for a volunteer athlete's commitment to raise funds in the fight against leukemia.

Art and technology merge at the first ever Internet fundraising webcast and art showing. Donations come from the sale of art from renowned Bay Area artist Mattison Fitzgerald and online donation provided by San Jose company Entango Corporation. Several Silicon Valley companies are donating time and services to help Mazer bring together this complex event. The Good Guys is contributing electronics equipment, NTT (SoftwareVision2) is providing the live Internet video feed, StudentsHelp4Free is hosting the website, and additional assistance is provided by the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Night Owl Camera.

The guest list is a who's who of world class athletes and coaches including Olympians George Mount (cyclist and LSA Team in Training cycling program head coach) and Paul Quirke (shotput), Olympic trialists Barb Acosta (10,000m and marathon) and two time Bay-to-Breakers winner Christine Boyle-Kennedy, and Coach Parks the coach to former 49ers Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott.

Mazers house promises to be the hot spot in Silicon Valley as geeks, athletes and art-lovers from the Bay Area heat up this house-warming turned fundraiser. In addition millions of people from around the world have a chance to attend in cyberspace and support this unique athlete.

Mazer will collect donations from online supporters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week beginning at the housewarming and continuing through the June 6, 1999 event in Tahoe.
